Catherine L. Parry

Catherine Lynne Parry

Cathy was born to Paul and Wendy Butler on July 3, 1962. One of Cathy’s passions was music. She was born to a musically gifted family and played baritone horn in marching band. She also loved being a majorette in High School.

Cathy went on to achieve a Bachelor of Arts degree from Westchester University. Cathy was a communications major and loved reading and writing. Her writing skills aided her to be promoted in her banking career.

As she was completing college, Bob lived and worked in Westchester, and that’s where they met in 1984. Cathy graduated in 1985. They moved to the Jersey Shore the following year and have been NJ residents since.

Cathy was a loving mother to two beautiful daughters, Olivia and Emily. Her family was her highest priority.

Cathy initially worked as a legal secretary in casino marketing and then became Director of Marketing for the Bay Atlantic Symphony. Eventually Cathy found herself unexpectedly with a career in Banking, where she remained until retirement. Her last position was as a Banking Analyst for SMBC. Cathy enjoyed her work friendships very much.

Cathy’s main passions were her family and friends. She loved Philadelphia sports, and was an avid Eagles fan and loved the Phillies.

Anybody that knew Cathy also knew that she loved the band Pearl Jam. Loved is an understatement. She had been to over 40 concerts, all over the world, and has made many close friends through her love of this music and these experiences.

For everyone who loved Cathy, we will always remember her cheering on the Eagles and the Phillies with her family and or watching a beautiful sunset from 59^th Street in Ocean City.

Cathy is survived by her husband Bob, Daughters Olivia and Emily, and her brother Paul Butler.
